FriedgeHNIC: Shots are 11-2 DET since TOR took a 2-1 lead

Because, you know, this team going into a defensive shell has worked wonders so far this season.

They really learned nothing from game 7.

Lame feed kicks in

A feed is better than no feed. Good quick thinking to switch feeds for us.

Man, I sure wouldn't mind Phil Kessel looking like an 8 million dollar a year player right now.

What does that look like, exactly?

Shots were 13-5 in the first. I don't know if that can be attributed to anything specific.

I don't know.  It seems to be a pretty consistent story though.  They play well.  Tie/get a lead and then immediately stop playing aggressive offensively. 

I know on the whole that they are prone to getting horribly outshot, but there is a noticeable difference in the style of play once they get that goal.

Looks like ref put whistles away after JVR's penalty. I've seen 3 clear red wing penalties since.

Phaneuf should have drawn a 4-minute PP.  Kessel gets crosschecked late in the period.

And we get Millen. The hockey gods hate Leaf fans

 

[Stronger Than All]

Kessel got a blatant cross check.  4-3 pp would be nice right now.

 

[drummond]

I hope it didn't take anyone of you this long to see that unlike management.

I just don't think that's true. I think they play that conservative style throughout the game and I certainly don't think that you can say that either Toronto goal was the result of aggressive play.

It was just a stretch where they got badly outshot which happens to them fairly regularly.

Scoring a late goal.

Has there been a shootout at an outdoor game?

I wouldn't worry.

:-X

Carrying the play, creating pressure by means of puck possession even if there aren't clear avenues to the net, displaying versatility and being an effective player even if your one go-to move isn't available...a little bit like how Zetterberg looked in the last five minutes there.

 

[L K]

I don't really understand that one.  I get the full periods, but they probably should have just played the 5 minutes without the split.
